Answer / dileep

At the time of starting a tube choke gives rise to high
voltage by di/dt nearly 1000 volts by starter ON-OFF
function rate of change of voltage becomes high due to
inductance of choke. This high voltage starts ionization of
gas in the tube. Once gas gets ionised and starts
conducting then starter gets out of circuit and circuit is
completed only through choke which now share voltage(limit
voltage) for tube because after esabilishing ionization now
to maintain it only nearly half of the voltage is required.

Answer / manish tailor

The function of choke is to provide high voltage enough for
ionization to take place in a tube light and after
establishment and substenance of ionization, limit the
voltage across the tube. That is the reason why a tube
fuses when the choke is shorted.

Answer / nimish

To start the tubelight. we have to ionise the gas inside
tubelight like murcury which ionise at high voltage around
1000 to 1500 V it is provided by choke.

Answer / suchak nimish

It is used to provide high voltage approximately 1000 to
1500 Volt.

Answer / rathnam

the property of the inductor is to oppose the rate of
change of current through it suddenly. At the time of
starting it requires high voltage to ionise the gas (
through creating potential difference between the
electrodes) in the tube so choke creates required potential.
The starter is same as that of a capacitor, to improve the
power factor the total system(connection of R and L) it is
required.

Answer / ramesh

The choke acts a regulator and controls the current flow
thro' the flourescent tube.

Answer / sabarinathan frm sec

the purpose of choke in a fluorescent lamp is to increase
the voltage momentarily,

answer 3 very correct

A simple Question from all.... If Voltage drops then its rated value what will be effect on a Residential load? similarly if voltage rises from its rated value then what will be effects on a load? i know if voltage drops the equipment or device draws more current then its rated what are other reasons ? thanks in advance for ur time.......
